I always liked how the character of Garland Greene was written, and he had one of the best character intros of all time. His reputation as a serial killer made him truly terrifying to the point that the other hardened criminals were wary of him. Just seeing a big guy like Ving Rhames hesitate to take his mask off speaks volumes. Yet Garland was very calm the whole time, sat quietly in his seat, didn't kill anyone, and just observed & analyzed everyone else with a calculating intelligence. Steve Buscemi, just looking the way he does, was perfect for that role.

My takeaway was always that Garland Green's conversation with the little girl actually cured him in some weird way. It was like an addict realizing for the first time that they have a problem. If you listen to the way Buscemi delivers the line "There is no cure for what I have." It's almost a revelation, like, "I AM sick", and the last shot of him at the tables when the guy says "New shooter coming through." That's Garland starting over his life.

In real life, there is no cure for a sicko like that, but it's also incredibly unrealistic that Cyrus would have been able to plan the siege so effectively with what must not have been very much time, or that they'd be able to pass off the guards as prisoners without anyone noticing, or that Cameron's messages would get to the right place fast enough to do any good. And that's not even touching on the stunts and action sequences that defy physics. We don't like this movie for its realism. We like it because it's fun action with the good guys winning and the bad guys losing in the end.

For those who don't understand, Cameron Poe used a deadly military technique to kill a civilian. In the eyes of the law, that's excessive force, and therefore, grounds for a manslaughter charge. Yes, Poe acted in self-defense, and it's understandable that he used deadly force in response to the man he killed pulling out a knife. But one of the others thugs took the knife and ran off. Without that knife, Poe had no way to prove that his life was in enough danger to use deadly force. All of the available evidence was against him. Very sad, but unfortunately true.

I always took Garland Greene as being 'reformed' after meeting that girl. She gave him some kind of epiphany. Making him admit he was sick and that he believed there was no cure, then singing 'He's got the whole world in His hands' made him realize there is a higher power that is looking after him. The plane is crashing and he's singing that song, he isn't afraid of what is happening and he's not apathetic to it like he was before. Now he's accepting something is looking out for him and that either 'cured' him or he believes he can be cured. The little girl was his Saul on the road to Damascus moment so to speak. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I always saw it. He had some spiritual epiphany that changed him.

Con-Air is just such an awesome action packed thriller film. One of my favorite of Cage's in the 90s with Face Off and The Rock (which 2 more actors in Con-Air also starred in a minor role). Cyrus was also a great character, portrayed an intelligent and calm criminal, doesn't act on emotions (almost never shouting or getting angry). As for the Garland Greene, just his opening introduction is already amazing but also freaky AF. The sheer number of multiple security measures utilized to keep him secured in that truck. Even Ving Rhames' character Nathan who appear as a big tough guy was also terrified of him while trying to remove the face cover. But after all, he was the most sane, calm and non-violent one among the other felony convicts in that plane. A little bit of fact here, Cameron refused to leave his friend as well as the female guard, Bishop, behind is bcoz he continues to think himself as an Army Ranger and live by the Army Ranger creed; in the creed it states that a Ranger will not leave a fallen comrade into the hands of the enemy (which Cameron told Larkin at Lerner that he couldn't leave a fallen man behind). The film's song How Do I Live, I totally love it ever seen I first listened to it. A possible theory about Garland Greene is that about a year later he went on to work on an oil rig offshore, apart from having fun in Vegas, to start a new life. Eventually he went to space with others to help save the world from an asteroid impact but he lost his mind and became insane there 🤣🤣.

I saw this in theaters, and can confirm that people cheered at the Garland Greene ending. But it mostly seemed to be in the spirit of appreciating a good, but dark, joke. And also hoping for a sequel with Greene as the villain! Steve Buscemi was an extremely popular character actor at the time, people always enjoyed watching him and wanted to see more, no matter what he part he was playing. So that ending was sort of a hint that we might get more of him in a later film against Nic Cage. I really enjoyed watching you get so invested in this story. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone take it as seriously as you did. It was a lot of fun!

So the thing to remember about Garland Green (and this is true of all fictional characters) is that he ceases to exist when the movie ends & he only exists within the fictional world of the movie. I know that seems obvious but really let that sink in. The point of Garland Green is to express a trope called "Through the Eye of Madness". In this trope the idea is presented that perhaps the "maddest" among us might really be the most sane & that's what we see with Garland. The character is objectively insane & yet he is the one that speaks the most sense & arguably makes the most sane decisions. Within this trope the writer asks us to really examine why we consider some behaviour sane & some behaviour insane. The character even goes so far as literally voicing this idea during his "gold watch" monologue. Somewhat on the nose but then this is a Jerry Bruckheimer film after all :D

Fun Fact: "How Do I Live" was originally recorded by Leann Rimes, but since SHE was so young when she recorded it, the makers of the film didn't think it was a good idea to have a minor sing the love theme for an R rated film, so they had Trisha Yearwood re-record it for the soundtrack.

I like "Highlander" enough. Not fond of any of the other films in the series. Love the TV show. My only complaint is that if Immortals don't know they're Immortal until they die and come back to life, how can anyone possibly know how many there are or will be and thus how can there ever be only one left? It should have been written that being Immortal was a "curse" cast upon tribes in the Highlands of Scotland that would last for a thousand years or that it would decrease with each generation so that eventually there would be no more Immortals. Something to bring about the end of the possibility someone might be Immortal.

When we see the flashback of Connor MacLeod getting stabbed in the 16th century battle by the Kurgan and dying for the first time, the Kurgan already knew Macleod was immortal because he specially told the clan leader before the fight that Conner was to be left to him. Of course then the bat shit crazy second movie changed them to all alien exiles from another planet so the mythology was pretty fluid.

From a story telling aspect, there should be a reason why Immortals are immortal and why it only affects certain people. Likewise there should be a reason for the end of Immortals, a reason why no one else becomes immortal. That's where my idea of having it be a curse or witchcraft that affects "X" number of generations and loses it's potency over time. Otherwise there will never be just one, as potential Immortals will keep being born.

One inmate in Finland was in maximum security cell because of his escape attempts. He created 2 bombs. One blew out the whole sewage system of the entire prison, and one blew out his iron-bar window. He was in max-security at the time. Ofc he has a window... he started to feed birds with bread crumbs and collect their crap. Then he boiled some hand-washing soap to isolate some chemical out of it, and condensate it into another form of chemical. Then he mixed that with some sulfur from matches etc... He read books about chemicals and physics for a decade in prison... Even the leader of the Finnish "SWAT"-team bomb squad was surprised how he managed to do that... They were like "How?" Prison guards: We don't know, all he does is read and feed his damn birds... Bombsquad: Birds? Does he feed a lot of birds? Guards: Yeah all the birds from the area are always at his window... Bombsquad: *sigh* There is some chemical in bird-poop that has a very rapid response-time when mixed with other chemicals and can be used to make explosive things... The bomb squad guys knew about this immediately. This guy had soap, matches for cigarettes, bread crumbs, tin-foil from smoke-packs to make a pan to collect the poop and A LOT of determination, unlimited amount of time and tons of books...
